2018 Ganador(a) | | Indian

Chakr Innovation has devised a new technique to control emissions from diesel generators. The Chakr Shield is a technology that causes minimum backpressure on the diesel generator. The device is able to control up to 90% of particulate matter from diesel engines, with no impact on the engine’s efficiency. The carbon produced is used to create ink pigment. This pigment is non-toxic and is of same quality as the ink used in industries. Chakr in Hindi means cycle, and Chakr innovation are completing the cycle of carbon.

Arpit is a technology enthusiast who strongly believes that solutions to the problems that our society faces can be found in the implementation of simple technologies. He was brought up in the city of Delhi, which is hit hard by air pollution. He created two companies: Chakr Innovation, to tackle the problem of air pollution due to diesel engines, and Dharaksha Ecosolutions, to prevent the problem of air pollution due to waste burning.
